I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

Personally, I would sooner have written Alice in Wonderland than the whole Encyclopedia Britannica.

I am better able to imagine hell than heaven it is my inheritance, I suppose.

I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.

I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.

We imagine that we want to escape our selfish and commonplace existence, but we cling desperately to our chains.

The imagination is man's power over nature.

Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.

What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.

You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist.
